Sadly, the 'King of ceilidh' noted Scottish button box player Fergie Macdonald has passed away from cancer, just one day short of his 87th birthday. He recorded dozens of albums in his career, and was a bridge between the old style Scottish and modern Celtic players. Ironically, though he was an instrumentalist, Fergie's vocal version of 'Loch Maree Islands' was a noted 'hit' of its day and is still a favourite he is fondly remembered for.
